I am trying to organize my thoughts more on just how this would work.

Here are some of those thoughts...

We would travel together some of the time. Some of the time we would travel separately. Or one of us might stay in one place for a while while the other travels. The PA will keep doing their daily work in either case. Daily work will include

- sending out emails to

- making travel plans, contacts on couchsurfing, making bookings in hostels, etc.
